An Unworthy Future: The Grim Reality of Obama's Green Energy Delusions
ISBN: 9781480808911 / Angielski / Miękka / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is difficult to find an area of public policy more plagued by misunderstanding than energy policy. Even worse, every time the subject is raised, we are obligated to get mired in pointless arguments about the weather. This book helps set the record straight. Not convinced? Consider some of these inconvenient truths: The cost of green energy climate remediation is anywhere from 10 to 1,000 times greater than the damage from the climate change it attempts to alleviate. Obama s carbon tax would cost Americans $1.2 trillion over just ten years, but would only reduce the midrange three-degree...

New Normal, Radical Shift: Changing Business and Politics for a Sustainable Future
ISBN: 9781409455745 / Angielski / Twarda / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Our traditional ways of looking at economics, business and politics are not fit for purpose. The causes of the recent crisis were behavioural and international, but our measures are superficial and financial, recorded at a national or company level. This is combined with a fervent quest for endless growth, no matter how unsustainable. Theory has to catch up with reality. Many books chart different courses for economic and business management but New Normal, Radical Shift is different. Using examples from international organizations around the world, it analyses not only the business model...

Sustainability of External Imbalances: A Critical Appraisal
ISBN: 9783658070908 / Angielski / Miękka / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the mid-1990s, sustainability of large and persistent current account positions have been attracting much attention from policy makers and economists alike. Alongside global imbalances, sustainability of imbalances within the euro area, which started widening shortly after the introduction of the euro, raised much concern. While there exists a large body of theoretical and empirical literature on sustainability of external imbalances, a systematic survey has been lacking so far. Angelique Herzberg fills this gap by examining a broad range of established sustainability measures...

Drivers of Bank Lending: New Evidence from the Crisis
ISBN: 9783658071745 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After the recent financial crisis has hooked the banking system to its very foundations, Hartmut Brinkmeyer contributes to the question of how bank characteristics influence bank loan supply during crisis periods by developing a well-founded theoretical framework. The econometrical design deploys a number of remarkably innovative ideas such as the implementation of a bank-specific, self-chosen target capital ratio or a very convincing approach to the disentanglement of loan supply and demand. The results of this study deliver a profound insight into the lending behavior of European...

Gesellschaft -- Technik -- Politik: Perspektiven Der Technikgesellschaft
ISBN: 9783810007568 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wenn wir mit diesem Buch Technik, Gesellschaft und Politik fur die politi sche Bildung thematisieren, so geht es uns um die Zusammenhange, um die gegenseitigen Abhangigkeiten dieser drei Dimensionen. Unsere Grundthese ist, dass Technik, Gesellschaft und Politik voneinander abhangen und mitein ander verflochten sind. Sie durfen auch in der Darstellung nicht isoliert werden. Der Versuch einer solchen integrierenden Betrachtungsweise ist keineswegs selbstverstandlich. Bis in die 70er Jahre und teilweise bis heute wurde die These vom Determinismus des gesellschaftlichen Wandels durch technischen...

"Often thought in the modern world to be completely unrelated, even antithetical to the restoration of a just society, the restoration of morality and widespread direct ownership of the means of production go hand-in-hand, as moral authorities through the ages have recognized. The problems facing modern society cannot be solved and the natural moral law restored except through the action of ordinary people organizing for the common good. Further, ordinary people will never have the power to organize effectively until and unless they have direct ownership of a meaningful stake of...
